and checks from both players.

The river was the {5-Diamonds}

and Judah checked to Mustafa. He fired a bet of 9,500 that prompted Judah to removed his sunglasses and sit upright in his chair. Mustafa sat motionless, hiding underneath his hooded sweatshirt and shades. After some time in the tank, Judah mucked his hand, slipping to 112,000 chips.
